Re: acid reflux question....

you can have an endoscopy done where they put a small camara down your throat and stomach. they can take a biopsy. they can see if there is irritation of the lining of the esophogus or stomach.

then there is the 24 hour ph level test where they thread a small sensor thru your nose and down to your stomach and then they take readings of the acidity levels.

there is one other test too, but i cant think of it right now.

hope this helps.

my other post from today:

I am off to have Gastroscopy

Please pray my test comes out ok. I am very nervous. (This is the test where they put you to sleep & put the camera down your throat to view your stomach).

I am nervous!

My dad will be taking me since I can't drive home alone
